DOVER -- The Dover High School Guidance Dept. will host a Financial Aid Night for Seniors and their parents on Tuesday, November 27 at 6:30PM in the DHS auditorium. The presenter will be Angela Castonguay from the Center for College Planning at the NH Higher Education Assistance Foundation.

Castonguay will review the primary form used in the application process, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or FAFSA. She will also discuss the CSS Profile (required by some colleges) and other sources of financial assistance. Parents and students can use this opportunity to ask questions regarding the application process. Hand-outs will be available.

Dover High School students have identified their concerns about financing for education. In some cases, students are delaying their education or choosing to attend a 2 year program and then transferring to a 4 year college in order to reduce costs. All students need accurate information about college financing as families make these important decisions.

Call the DHS Guidance Office at 516-6940 for more information.
